I took a punt that this show would be worth the money and as it turned out it was well worth it. The Artists themselves were just chilled and having fun along with Al Murray who helped the evening along, i had a great time and found myself dumb-struck by the skill of the Musicians on hand. It is a shame that the event did not sell out and anyone who likes this type of music and did not attend missed a real treat.
A one off show i know but it was Great!!

get more black clothing, and be deaf by 50!

What an awesome night....Jim Marshall and all you crazy heavy metal dudes you have done us proud/ What a shame Jim wasn't there to experience the event, but at least he knew it was happening.

A very very special night that won't be forgotten.

Great line up, great music. Loved the music even though the atmosphere in the hall was not that hot. Felt a bit sorry for Al Murray trying to get everyone going, but with such a varied line up I don't think anyone knew what to expect, so it seemed a bit flat to me.
Once the music got going though, the quality was amazing. 5 minutes in and the 'House Band' as they were called warmed up with drum sticks flying through the air.
Wasn't so impressed with the videos and and ads and the screens themselves were a bit small I thought. Tim 'ripper' Owens was absolutely amazing. Corey gave a great range of vocals too, and Zakk did a great stint.
For me personally - more Joe Satriani and Zakk and lass Glenn Hughes. Maybe a bit unfair, but having seen him at High Voltage twice his set went on a bit, and Ripper is by far the best vocalist I have heard in many a long year.
Would I go again? a big fat YES. Thank you Jim, for bringing us such a great array of talent and kit to marvel over.

Absolutely brilliant !!!!
The show was fantastic with new and old styles of rock. Cory Taylor sang so well, along with the other singers he did a fantastic job. But the thing we all went for was to see the guitarist drive them Marshall amp to there limit !
Watching all the guitarist play there own way was great and the backing band was brilliant ! Jesus Christ they put a lot of effort into the whole show.
My only critism was the sound quality was a little muffled at times, almost like to much going on. But apart from that it was a great tribute to an amazing man and his family.
I was glad to be part of a one off show !
Al Murray was so good to add to the show.
Fantastic !

It was amazing to watch some of the best rock musicians, playing live and loud at Wembley Arena. The show rolled along, helped by two great MC's Nicko McBrain telling great stories about Jim Marshall, and Al Murray as the Pub Landlord, plus some video excerpts. Then all the great guitarists showing why Marshall are still the best and loudest amps around. Not forgetting the house band, blasting out for three and a half hours.

This was a fantastic idea to pay homage to arguably the greatest producer of amplification there's ever been. However, as it was a concert celebrating such a huge thing and commemorating the tragic, recent death of Jim Marshall, I was a little disappointed with the lack of display of signature amps and other models he has created over generations. The exhibition didn't show very much and aside from that, there was only merchandise available and stalls selling drinks and sweets but these seemed to be in abundance. I was expecting there to be more original music at the gig, unfortunately it was primarily covers. I imagine this was a disappointment for many, since there was no warning of this before the gig. The finale was a nice idea unfortunately, most of the musicians seemed inaudible as a result of being 'drowned out' by the sound.

On the plus side however, there were some original songs being played and Yngwie Malmsteen was his usual crazy egotistical self, There were some fantastic performances and Zakk Wylde was exceptional. The films about the history of Marshall amps was great to have between songs and put the event into context. This was generally a good gig for all ages and although I expected more original songs, the artists were of a very high caliber and are worth paying to see.

A unique night, and a chance to see some of the finest rock musicians in the world on the same stage.

The highlights - Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert jamming together, and Paul Gilbert proving that he isn't all just widdly solo's with a great version of 'Cheap Sunglasses' and other bluesy tracks. Motorhead's Phil Cambell's smouldering solo on Thin Lizzy's 'Still in love with you', Zakk Wylde doing his best to kill drummer Brian Tichy with a stunning version of BLS's 'Stillborn'. In fact despite all the great guitar playing (and there was a lot) the drummers were the real stars of the night. Also Tim 'Ripper' Owens' amazing vocals, one minute Ronnie James Dio, the next Rob Halford, the next Bruce Dickinson. The 'house band' did a great job in fact.

The lowlights - Yngwie. OK so he's a cartoon rock star, but he's also a dislikeable cartoon rock star. after about two minutes of 'look at me..I'm a fast Richie Blackmore' antics, it wore very thin. Poor old Glenn Hughes, who was left vainly trying to keep it going during the inevitable changeover delays in his set. Not sure why he was chosen as the 'headliner' actually. The running order was a bit odd at times. Also - we all know that it's big and clever to swear, but did Al Murray have to swear quite so much? Didn't really do much for promoting the Marshall brand as a family company...likewise the incomprehensible and inappropriate 'life on the road' movie which was scattered throughout the evening, and in fact provided a depressing and gloomy start to the night. Didn't really see any point to it, especially when Marshall have made their own films for guitar magazines in the past about the company, and unsung employees, which would have been a bit more in keeping. The much anticipated 'exhibition' was a bit odd, I felt that a marketing opportunity was missed, even though they did have 'the amp that goes to 11'.

So on balance, as a guitarist I loved it, but there were a few minus points which means it doesn't get the full 5 stars.

There really are not enough words to describe this gig! So many rock legends under one roof.. Such a treat for all Rock fans out there. The buzz of the whole evening was amazing. For me the house band were superb .. Brian Tichy is a god on the drums!! Sorry to Mike Portnoy who also was amazing on drums but Mr Tichy brilliant show.
Satch was awesome as always, along with Douglas Aldrich and Zakk Wylde.. Who am I kidding it all was fabulous !!!!

Absolute credit to Chris George from Marshall for directing the whole show.. Ur a cool dude! Didn't want to end but sadly we all had to come home... Please please do it again!

Have been waiting all year for 50 years of Loud and all of the anticipation was worth it. The only regret was that the great man wasn't there to witness the very genuine outpouring of love and respect from a stellar cast of muso's. This was a show with too many highlights to mention and absolutely no lowlights to complain about - hell - even the burgers were brilliant and I never thought I'd say that about a gig........and even better hardly anybody spent the whole event going to the bar instead of listening. Great sound
(well that would be essential then!!), fantastic lighting and blinding music - particularly Paul Gilbert and his great version of Manic Depression
